Anything Goes at Not Just Cards!

Hi friends, hope you're all well.

I'm here with my Not Just Cards Dt hat on today as we have a new challenge

starting where the theme, as always, is ANYTHING GOES

We are a just for fun challenge but we do have a Top 3 & as the title says we

love to see anything you'd like to make.....Not Just Cards!

As usual, there's some fabulous Dt makes for your inspiration over on the main

blog......we'd love to see you there!

I decided to make a decoupage topper this time, lots of lovely layers in soft,

muted tones.....very feminine & pretty that I think would suit lots of

occasions. I finished with a 'with love' sentiment & a lacy butterfly.

Rightio, better get a move on.....I had a lovely crafty afternoon yesterday but

have to pay for it today lol.....there's a mountain of ironing to get through!

Thanks for calling & whatever you're up to......have a lovely day!

See you tomorrow.

Don't forget, you can find my EASTER/SPRING challenge here

November Challenge at Not Just Cards!

Hi crafty friends, hope you're all well & warm.....it's so cold, dark & grey here.

So sorry I've not been around the past few days, I've had so much going on

here I don't know whether I'm coming or going!

Anyway, today I'm sharing my Dt make for the latest challenge over at

NOT JUST CARDS

Apologies to my Teamies, I should have posted on the 11th but time just ran away 

with with me!

The theme, as usual, is anything goes & if you're low on inspiration do pop over to the 

main blog.....you'll be amazed at the fab Dt makes. I made a card topper this 

time....I started with a white piece of card, added  a scenic back ground, next came

 a piece of snowflake printed card into which I cut an aperture. I layered this up with

 foam pads for extra dimension. Next, I added the chipboard Snowman, the

 Christmas gift and the little house onto the background.......then I finished with

 some faux gems!

Don't forget, we love to see any & all makes over at Not Just Cards, hope to see

you there! Thanks for calling.....see you tomorrow!

New Challenge at Not Just Cards!

Morning crafty friends & bloggers......happy Thursday!

It's a very special day for us today.......my grandson Asher is one!!!

He's such a gorgeous, happy baby......so easy to take care of.....and he makes

 the funniest noises! I can't  believe how fast the year has gone.....makes me 

wish I could keep him at this age for another year. He's coming to us on 

Saturday & we're having a little tea party for him so hopefully I'll have some 

pics to share next week.

Anyway, I'm also here to tell you about the new challenge over at 

Not Just Cards

The theme, as usual, is anything goes so this time I made a bottle tag for 

 a bottle of wine I gave to my stepfather for his birthday recently.

I didn't measure, just cut my card to the size I wanted, used a circle die to

cut the hole......then set to decorating. Another great way to use up some bits

from the scrap box too.....although I'm sure I'll never get to the bottom

of it! Rightio, better get a move on....if you fancy joining us this month

 you can find all rules & some gorgeous Dt makes for your inspiration over

on the main blog.....hope to see you there!

Thanks for calling......see you tomorrow!

Hi friends, hope you're all well & having a good week!

It's grey & miserable here today, perfect crafting weather & I suspect that's

what I'll be doing once I've been to my Dr appointment.

So today sees the start of a new challenge over at Not Just Cards with the theme

ANYTHING GOES

As usual, any & all makes are welcome, you can check out the few rules

& some gorgeous Dt inspiration over on the main blog.

I made more Christmas tags, you can never have too many, right?

Circular ones this time.......simply a die cut circle, a layer of scallop

circle finished with a die cut sentiment. The backs are stamped with a simple

To/From & I added string.......what a great way to use up some scraps!

Okie dokie, that's me for today......thanks for calling & for any comments

I made a set of Christmas tags this time, a great way to use up all those odds &

ends us crafters have lying about. I simply die cut all the layers then finished with

a die cut gold snowflake topped with a faux pearl. The back was stamped with a

 simple to/from & I threaded them with some string.

Rightio, that's my lot for today! Thanks for calling & for any comment you
